Teaching Archaeology

in

Welcome to the CBA’s webpages for teachers.

Archaeology is a great subject to teach. Not only is it a broad subject with many ways to apply more abstract principles (eg radiocarbon to illustrate isotopes in chemistry or physics), but it also has the ability to excite and enthuse learners with a subject that is truly different to that which they have studied in other lessons.

Within schools the scope for using archaeology is not limited to the history classroom. Archaeology can be used to examine citizenship, language, mathematics, science, religion, art as well as technology, design, music etc. There are few subjects with such a broad reach.

We have divided our content for teachers into several sections to make accessing the information you need easier:
